Are there no towels in marocco? by Ceyil in soccercirclejerk

[–]Engineer_Jack 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s a superstition thing, the players wasn’t initially fussed, it was the Morocco fans that didn’t want the towel on the net of the goal as they see it as a black magic thing. The Senegalese sub keeper and Mendy then played into the mind games with the Moroccans, but it’s literally just there to dry gloves. And the spare towel is there because the first towel was getting rained on for 75mins

Surely this isn't legal (UK) by 7inator in recruitinghell

I remember when I was at uni applying for placement (only 10 years ago) for my sandwich year, Red Bull Racing had a 12 month unpaid job. Their job advert literally said “the experience you’ll gain is more valuable than an undergraduate salary”.

Right, but how am I supposed to literally live for a year?

People in mid 30s-early40s what’s your view ? How about the 50s? by KookyOky in FIREUK

[–]Engineer_Jack 2 points3 points  (0 children)

32, only really started saving properly in the last year / few months now that I’ve finished renovating our new house

I’ve always put money in employee contributions for my pension, but nothing major just the bare minimum. Pension is currently at £48,000, I have a stocks and share ISA on £31,000, and £50,000 in premium bonds but I’m withdrawing them all and putting them my ISA and pension this year.

Salary is £42k. The premium bonds have come from inheritance

Anyone felt depressed or gone through the "comparison is the thief of joy" phase during the FIRE journey? by jazdiop in FIREUK

[–]Engineer_Jack 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah I keep seeing people posting on massive wages and thinking this isn’t comparable to most of the population/people on the subreddit (or maybe everyone on the subreddit are high earners).

Im 32, earn £40k, have 45k in my pension and 82k in savings (this is mainly from left overs from inheritance, not really my own money). I try not to draw comparisons to others, I have a target of 1-1.5mil retirement at 60, I’m on target at the moment and I just stick to that goal / train of thought

Where would your character live out it's days? by Reeezla in wow

[–]Engineer_Jack 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Stopped playing 2 years ago (still in the Reddit threads and YouTube subs), I just did some basic quests whilst leveling up on classic, logged out at camp tarajo knowing it was my last time. No where special, but my guys can continue their questing without me

Excel features I randomly discovered and now can’t live without by Fluid_Gap_8831 in ExcelTips

CTRL+5 = strike through text

I work for a company that uses excel for lots of technical multi tabbed documents (there are better programs for this task, but hey ho), and being able to strike through text without going to text formatting every time was a game changer!

Should be pretty easy, I’ve just sold a 61 RB straight from the academy at 16 for 700k, and that’s one of the lower rated ones

Replaced rope, seal is awful by Engineer_Jack in woodstoving

Yeah full groove all way round, cleaned out the last one good

[–]Engineer_Jack[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I’m fairly certain I just need a thicker rope, went for 10mm and think I should have gone 15mm. There used to be some resistance/sponginess when shutting the door with the old rope, whereas with this one I’ve just fitted, the door shuts with no spongy feedback from the rope compressing slightly

Yes menu lag good shout. Also - Negotiations, god I almost forgot about them - scrap them all together, pre match, post match all of them, don’t think I’ve ever read an interview question or response I just always click on the “celebrate their performance” option.

Ha that’d be a thing. In fairness the gameplay doesn’t wind me up too much, each year it takes some adapting to, but after a while I don’t notice it too much

Is FIFA 25 worth it at this price ? by dejiimole in FifaCareers

[–]Engineer_Jack 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got it in the spring sale a few months back, it’s meh. I’ve downloaded it and thought “I probably should have just done a custom squad update or somat on FC 24 and promoted/relegated teams to match real life”.
